This is a special alert meow to all Catster members who live in the greater Bay Area, Sacramento/Lodi area and Wine Country.

We just sent Catster Local window decals to vets, pet stores and all other pet-friendly businesses in your area. They look like the ones pictured here.

The response has been supurrrrberb, but we can’t get everywhere. Can you help us by checking in with your local vet and favorite pet businesses and reporting back on whether they got the decals, are displaying them, and know of Catster and how much we love them? Even better, if you send in a picture of displayed Catster Local decals, we’ll send you Zealies!

If your favorite pet business isn’t displaying a Catster decal, you might ask them if they received one and if they know about Catster. We’ll be happy to send them stickers and more info if you send us the mailing address/contact information to community [at] catster [dot] com.

Please feel furee to share *any* experiences you have talking with the pet places in the comments area of this entry. If any pet place is listed in Catster Local, then they were sent a welcome letter and decal.

If you’ve taken a photo of posted decals and want Zealies, send each photo along with the URL of one of your pets on the site and the name of the store or venue where you saw the sticker to community [at] catster [dot] com. The first person to send in a photo gets the 20 Zealies (though no good deed will go unzealied). ;) Also if you want, you can add the picture to the Catster Local Listing for that business. That would be SO COOL!
